QUARTERLY REPORT FOR GLOBAL GIVING (JULY – SEPTEMBER 2024)
PROJECT TITLE: GIVE A CHILD 10 YEARS HEALTH INSURANCE
THE 1CHILD_1HEALTH INSURANCE (NHIS) PROJECT
This project seeks to register children below age 18 onto the National Health Insurance Scheme of Ghana so they can access free basic healthcare and other benefits associated with this card.
This project also helps widen the scope of the Ghana Universal Health Coverage Goal for rural communities. This will also enhance early detection and treatment of ailments.
Between JULY to SEPTEMBER 2024, 552 morechildren have been registered and gotten their cards renewed from 4 communities and handed over their Health Insurance cards to access free basic healthcare from health facilities around them and nationwide.
This brings the total number of children registered on the project since its inception is 5189.
Attached is a news item by a national newspaper on the achievement (https://dailyguidenetwork.com/hereafter-ghana-registers-5000-beneficiaries-on-nhis/#google_vignette )
The health insurance authority is currently synchronizing the Identity cards of Ghanaians with their health insurance cards. Therefore, after registrations, children get the numbers only. We have devised a strategy of writing these numbers on a card for them so that they can still have it as a card and not misplace it. This does not change the quality or quantity of the benefits this card provides them.
These were done within Bukpomo and kukphehi, Nyankpala North, Nyankpala South communities respectivelyin the Sagnarigu Ghana.
